From: Wong Vee Khee vee.khee.wong@linux.intel.com Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2021 21:26:22 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] net: stmmac: fix kernel panic due to NULL pointer dereference of plat->est
In the case of taprio offload is not enabled, the error handling path causes a kernel crash due to kernel NULL pointer deference.
Fix this by adding check for NULL before attempt to access 'plat->est' on the mutex_lock() call.
The following kernel panic is observed without this patch:
